"Sabbath is like receiving the gift of a heavy snow day every week. Stores are closed. Roads are impassable. Suddenly you have the gift of a day to do whatever you want. You don't have any obligations, pressures or responsibilities. You have permission to play, be with friends, take a nap, read a good book. Few of us would give ourselves a 'no obligation day' very often. God gives you one--every seventh day." ~Pete Scazzero

In the hustle and bustle of today's world it is hard to trust God and take a Sabbath rest every week. Why is this an issue of trust? Because we need to trust God that He can handle things if we stop and take the rest that He has provided for us.

Sometimes I think that the Lord knows how difficult this is for us and provides snow just for this purpose! It is a "forced rest" and a beautiful reminder of His power!

I hope that you were able to take some time and safely enjoy your "Snowmageddon Sabbath" this past weekend.
